Old Cang’s divine sense spread out, searching for Feng Qingran’s trail.
Could this person be the hidden expert they sensed?
After hearing the voice, Bai Li Yuanmo’s pupils flashed with a charming light. Back when the auction ended, he had intended to send someone to follow Feng Qingran, but unexpectedly, she had vanished directly from within the room.
Ye Wentian’s disciples were indeed no ordinary people.
The people of Qingyun Province all looked surprised. Feng Qingran was still alive?
They had been at the entrance of the black hole the whole time and hadn’t seen Feng Qingran come out. How on earth had she escaped?
Could she have received the inheritance of that Mahayana Immortal Venerable and found another exit?
Yun Hai swept his gaze across everyone’s faces and shouted into the air, “Who’s there? Come out right now!”
Feng Qingran said crisply, “I’m just a passerby. Don’t mind me, everyone. You’d better take out your sound transmission tokens and take a look…”
Except for Mo Jinghong, everyone from Qingyun Province took out their sound transmission tokens.
Meanwhile, the group of black-clothed people looked at each other in confusion, then turned to look at Bai Li Yuanmo, who had also taken out his token.
Were they really that ignorant and out of touch?
What was the “Nine Provinces Gazette”?
And besides, didn’t they always use sound transmission talismans?
“What!? Something like this actually happened? The Bai Li family has gone way too far!” The head of the Sheng family roared angrily.
“And look here… it says that the whole incident with the Melodious Maiden back in the day was orchestrated by the Bai Li family. They deliberately used the Melodious Maiden incident as an excuse to seize control of the teleportation arrays between the provinces.”
“So it turns out the ranking of each province is entirely controlled by the Bai Li family. And the same goes for the strength of the various sects within each province. If a sect gets too strong, the Bai Li family will step in…”
“Damn! It also says the Bai Li family poaches the outstanding younger members of each province to prevent that province from becoming too powerful. And anyone they can’t poach… they even secretly eliminate…”
“Every single claim here is backed up with evidence. It doesn’t seem fake. The Bai Li family is absolutely terrifying!”
…
The group of black-clothed people listened quietly as the strong experts of Qingyun Province angrily vented about the Bai Li family.
They really wanted to snatch the tokens from those strong experts to see what exactly was written in the “Nine Provinces Gazette”!
But that would be a bit embarrassing.
So the black-clothed people could only turn their heads and stare intently at Bai Li Yuanmo, waiting for him to answer their questions.
Yun Hai directly leaned over to Bai Li Yuanmo and said ingratiatingly, “Boss, can I take a look too?”
“Go ahead.” Bai Li Yuanmo handed the sound transmission token to Yun Hai. He wanted to raise a hand to rub his brow, but only touched his mask instead.
Bai Li Yuanmo deeply regretted not paying much attention to the sound transmission tokens back when Qinghe Tower started selling them.
Later, the “Nine Provinces Gazette” appeared on the tokens. At first, it only reported true stories from Qingyun Province. He thought that as long as he controlled Qinghe Tower, he would essentially control the source of information from Qingyun Province.
So he used the Shumo Pavilion to support Qinghe Tower, prompting its rapid development, almost crushing the Fuyu Artifact Pavilion in influence.
But who would have guessed that by the time he realized what was happening, Qinghe Tower had already become independent enough to develop on its own, without relying on the Shumo Pavilion.
Bai Li Yuanmo truly hadn’t expected that he had ended up being the one who was used!
If he didn’t find a way to get rid of Qinghe Tower soon, Qingyun Province would likely really break free from the Bai Li family’s control.
Bai Li Yuanmo knew clearly that the Bai Li family was a giant crocodile, powerful enough to crush all other forces in the Nine Provinces.
But what the Bai Li family wanted was to control the situation from behind the scenes, not to be dragged into the spotlight.
Once some things were brought out into the open, they would stir up rebellious feelings in countless people.
At that point, the Bai Li family would definitely become the target of everyone’s criticism, and then it wouldn’t be so easy for them to control everything.
While Bai Li Yuanmo was thinking, Yun Hai finished browsing through the content on the “Nine Provinces Gazette.”
“Boss, how can this be? Who posted all this information?” Yun Hai asked, shocked.
The reason Yun Hai was so astonished was that aside from him and Bai Li Yuanmo, no one who had participated in the Scripture Library incident was still alive.
Bai Li Yuanmo was a direct descendant of the Bai Li family. He had been taught since childhood that the Bai Li family’s interests were above everything else. Bai Li Yuanmo would never betray the family.
And as for Yun Hai himself, he couldn’t possibly tell anyone about those things either. There was a loyalty gu inside his body. If he were ever disloyal to the Bai Li family, he would die from bleeding through his seven orifices.
The “Nine Provinces Gazette” explained the Scripture Library incident in great detail, as if the person who wrote it had participated in the events themselves.
They even released some image recordings proving that the lost cultivation techniques had ended up with the Bai Li family.
Many of the Bai Li family’s younger members were sword cultivators, practicing the very techniques stolen from the Heavenly Sword Sect back then.
“The person who dared to release this information must be the owner of Qinghe Tower!” Bai Li Yuanmo’s tone was cold, his purple pupils scanning every person present.
Yun Hai was even more shocked. “Boss, could the owner of Qinghe Tower be a traitor to the Bai Li family? Otherwise, how could they know so much?”
As he spoke, Yun Hai handed the token to Old Cang, and Old Cang took it.
The first thing he saw was: [SENSATIONAL! I never thought the Shumo Pavilion was actually a lapdog of the Bai Li family!]
[If you miss this news, you’ll definitely regret it! Strange cases from a thousand years ago, exposed today!]
[Could this be the Bai Li family’s true goal? To turn all the cultivators under heaven into their puppets…]
[Want to know why your province has always been ranked so low? You’ll definitely find the answer you’re looking for right here!]
